How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[tmitchell59]

I snagged something similar. I’m going full suede I guess. Although this does have some finished bits.

Silton? They made some nice jacket. This was a popular style that is hard to argue with.

You guessed it...I like this one too:

Here is the Sears Topline in the 1943 Sears catalog. Button jackets declined in numbers with the advent of the zipper. Button jackets have a return in this catalog probably due to war time shortages/fears. Listed with Capeskin or Suede in this listing.

Yes, mine is capeskin. Thank you very much for the info. I was surprised because FakeAlpha listed mine as Pony Hide but I knew they are wrong the moment I got my hands on it.

I'm still waiting for my 50's woolrich, the seller is located in my state and they even printed the shipping label out ASAP which gave me hope of receiving it quickly, but then they went and waited 5 days to ship the damned thing.
ETA is tomorrow, but being a Saturday it'll probably arrive at the post office sometime in the afternoon and I won't have it till Monday.

This jacket showed up today. I think it’s cool. Paper was in the pocket

Double Helix 1930s
Yesterday's pickup, a spontaneous purchase.

This one is going straight back. Smells like mold, sleeve liner is completely ripped to shreds. Lazy sellers earn returns. Shame as I like the style, even if it is a bit too small

One door closes and another one opens.

Paper thin looking but with this design, how could I not.

I like it, especially the brown color, stitching and shoulder caps!

I saw this one on Depop the other day (tiny size) and of course went through the typical childlike fit of “why can’t this stuff ever show up in my size”.

So when I saw a 42” I had to give it a shot. I know the site here is golden age but I am firmly in the 70’s pig iron age now. LOL.

A couple others that caught my eye.

The thin leather wouldn't bother me, you can at least wear it on cool spring and summer days and always look good!

Nothing wrong with this, always good to explore new styles or periods.

I am enjoying all your discoveries

Wow! A custom jacket cost double than the catalogue ones at the time eh? 1945, few months before the nuclear era begun.

My early 50's woolrich 503 arrived today, and I'm very happy with it.
It's in great condition, just has some lint and such here and there to pick off.

The lining is in excellent condition.

As are both storm cuffs.

I don't think it was worn very much, and it definitely hasn't had any critters in the game pocket.

There's a slight smell of some old cologne , but I don't hate it.
If this thing smelled like Avon wild country I'd probably have to get rid of it.

The bill of sale is for a 680lb cow

Looks like a Rough Wear.

Here’s my RW. Very similar design/pockets.

Roughwear Clothing 2 way pocket. Here it is with the Hercules label and lighter lining with an Aviator collar. I wanted that jacket, you did well even with the stitches. The lining is probably an order for that retailer

My jacket has a Talon sunrise zipper. The jacket is sold. I would guess 1941. The jacket was sold before I knew of the date code.

Your jacket appears to have a changed the zipper. The pull that is pictured is a 50s. I can't really see the zipper stitches. An original zipper could have been several configurations. The gather sides indicate a war time shortage c.1943 in contrast to mine with the metal parts, probably pre-war.

I forgot to download the pictures of your jacket and stunned to realize it was not an Aviator, but a straight zip. Your jacket goes back to the simpler front design of the pre-war jackets.

These 2 way pocket jackets were a staple in the Roughwear line being produced with Windward, labels, Admiral Byrd labels, and Hercules labels from the late 30s through the later 40s.

2 way pocket with Windward label

1941

1940s

Then the Variation as @jeo pictured above. That jacket style is patented and produced during the same time also with a Roughwear label.

Pretty much a run down on the popular Roughwear style jacket. The early model came in brown, suede, some tweaks. The 40s jacket I have only seen in this Brown color.
